Chapter 17 (Seventeen) Notice "Without rules, there can be no order. No matter what her original intention was in bringing you here, she has violated the rules of our sect. Anyone who violates the rules of our sect must be punished, and there will be no leniency." Rong Yu replied. "Miss Yin has been frozen in the severe cold for a long time. Now her face is pale and her lips are purple. If she continues to freeze, something might happen..." Yan Moying said worriedly. "Don't underestimate her cultivation. With her internal strength, she will be fine even if she kneels like this for three days and three nights." Rong Yu said. "It's true! We've seen it!" Gao Cai couldn't help but say it again, but then he thought it would be better if he didn't say it. "Master, if you must punish me, you can do so at will. Please don't let Miss Yin suffer!" Yan Moying said. "Punishing her is our Jiulan Sect's business, our sect's business, and no other people need to interfere. Mr. Yan, you are not a disciple of our sect, so how can I punish you? Of course I know that she violated the sect rules in order to save you, but it was she who violated the sect rules after all. From tomorrow on, she no longer belongs to Jiulan Sect, and from now on, no matter what she does, I will not punish her." Rong Yu's tone was firm, and it seemed that there was no room for maneuver. "All the punishments she has to endure are because of me. She saved my life, but was punished to kneel because of me. She is also going to be expelled from the sect because of me. Until now, she has never blamed me for anything. I feel guilty and think that no matter what I do, I will let her down. If I have to live with guilt like this, how can I be a man who stands tall and proud? Wouldn't that make my life worse than death? Therefore, I beg the master to let me take the punishment for her. Even double the punishment is fine. No matter how much suffering I have to endure, I am willing to do it, as long as Miss Yin doesn't have to suffer anymore! She...she is now...I can't bear to see her like this, and I can't watch her being expelled from Jiulan Sect because of me!" Yan Moying spoke earnestly and was a little excited. Rong Yu looked at Yan Moying's expression and suddenly realized that the man in front of him seemed to care about Yin Ruchen in an unusual way. Looking at his extremely sincere eyes and radiating a fiery expression, he felt that he was not only pleading for his benefactor, nor was he just pleading for his own dignity and responsibility. His sincerity contained too many other things. So Rong Yu deliberately asked, "If you were asked to die to atone for her sin, would you be willing?" Yan Moying was a little surprised to hear this, but he still said sincerely: "If it weren't for Miss Yin, I would be dead now. My life was originally saved by Miss Yin. As long as Gao Cai can return to Qi Yi safely, even if I have to give up my life to save Miss Yin from punishment, I will be willing to do so!" Although Yan Moying emphasized that Yin Ruchen saved his life, his willingness to die to save Yin Ruchen from punishment was not just out of a desire to repay his gratitude. Although he did not emphasize his quickly ignited passionate feelings for Yin Ruchen, his eyes still revealed his feelings. Rong Yu could see the emotion in Yan Moying's eyes clearly. Rong Yu was more certain of his previous guess and wanted to ask more questions, so he said to Gao Cai, "Mr. Gao, you should cultivate yourself more and not waste too much energy. Can you go back to the bedroom to rest first? I want to ask Mr. Yan some questions." He then said to Gui Yuan who was guarding the door, "Gui Yuan, you go back first!"
